The room was great. Super clean and modern. It was walking distance to almost everything. The staff was really nice and helpful. The little beach was really nice. Our only drawback was the loud music at the bar area. And, it went until late at night. We didnt realize it was going to be that way. But, other than that, the place was is great!

I love that it’s right on the ocean and it has a really cool beach bar and you can order food from the beach bar. I did have trouble with my door lock and after letting them know that my door wasn’t locking they said they would have someone come fix it, but they never did. I finally got it to close after several attempts but overall a very nice experience.
